hi there
do you have to pay for the children's schooling on the student visa?

Do you have to study full time? or can you do part time ?

Thanks

It is full time study, but it is only 3 full days and hubby works the other 2 days and has weekends off.
The college days change every semester, last semester he did 2 full days and 2 half days so it's much better this semester.
School costs $5000 a year for my son in pre primary and my daughter starts kindy in feb 09 and that will cost $2250.
The costs are different for different states and year the child is in.
